The Aquarius IV galaxy and the Rubin-GC1 cluster were found near the Milky Way.
The ultra-faint galaxy Aquarius IV is located about 355,000 light-years from Earth, on the outskirts of the Milky Way. The star cluster Rubin-GC1 is on the other side of our galaxy. The discovery was made with the help of the Vera Rubin Observatory, Yale University reports.
Both objects were discovered by analyzing preliminary observations covering only about 7% of the sky. Scientists say there may be hundreds of undiscovered satellite galaxies around the Milky Way. Studying the movement of the stars in them allows us to study the influence of invisible matter on objects in space.
